Coordinated Care of MetroWest
Coordinated Care of MetroWest (CCM) assists and supports individuals, families, and/or caregivers living in Greater MetroWest who are overseeing the lifetime care of adults with developmental or acquired disabilities.
The program is designed to meet the unique needs of the individual and family no matter where they are in their journey.

We hope to provide peace to caregivers that someone is there to help when they are no longer here and most importantly, we focus on strengths and quality of life for
the disabled adult.
Our services include:
- Free phone consultation to connect you to local resources and provide emotional support
- Short term fee for service case management to assist with more specific needs and research
- Long term fee for service case management to ensure a thorough care plan for future planning that is forever evolving and changing
